Lyrics to The Chosen One
Ferry)
Gold and silver walk the main street
(the chosen one)
Sons and lovers learn to suffer
Born in shadow where we first meet
(the chosen one)
Dreams that money cannot offer
Swollen river I've been thinking
(the chosen one)
Words of passion and of sorrow
Make believing is the real thing
(the chosen one)
Here today or gone tomorrow
Here today, gone tomorrow
April fever is no stranger
(the chosen one)
Night and morning in my shadow
World of pleasure and danger
(the chosen one)
Take my spirit, I must follow
Take my spirit
Take my spirit
(the chosen one)
(the chosen)
(the chosen)
(the chosen)
(the chosen)
(the chosen)
(the chosen)
The Chosen One
